HERE 'S OUR STORY

Oando Foundation (OF) was established in

2011, with the desire to bridge the gap in

the Nigerian educational system, and

provide equal learning opportunities for

every child in thecountry.

The Foundation supports the Nigerian

Government in achieving its education

development goals through its signature

project, the Adopt-A-School Initiative (A-A-

S-|). Our interventions address the needs

of students, teachers, school leaders and

the education community through

infrastructural development, scholarship

programmes, teacher training,

establishment of Early Childhood Care and

Development centers and ICT/creative

centers, capacity building for School

Based Management Committee Members

and Local Government Education

Authorities.

WHY WE CAREOur passion is fuelled by the

number of lives we impact through

our interventions, and the

opportunities we create for less

privileged children and

communities.

Basic education in Nigeria needs

support and intervention from the

private sector, as the government

alone cannot solve the problems in

the country's education system.

The future of the nation depends

on our youth, and is the reason we

should all get involved!

Over

58.3% of pupils in Nigerian schools

WHERE WE WORKThere is a dire need to increase opportunities for Nigerian children to gain

access to basic quality education. Imagine the impact we couldcreate together.

In over four years of existence, we have invested time, skills and resources to

assist communities and children in need. The outcome is improved learning

environments and an increase in enrolmentrates.

INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTCreating conducive learning spaces forchildren

Public primary schools are characterised by poor learning environments and fast decaying infrastructure. In order toensure we have a broader reach, our schools are carefully selected in collaboration withthe State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB). Considerations are made based on a school's population, level of deterioration and community population.

We renovate existing and build new structures to ensure access to clean water and sanitation, ensuring that there is access to clean water and sanitation facilities in each of our adopted schools.

Infrastructure development is critical for education, poverty reduction and economicgrowth.

SCHOLARSHIPSLet's help keep children in school

Most people in Nigeria still

earn less than $1 a day.

While secondary education

in Nigeria is free, there are

fees that impact students.

These include transportation,

books, uniforms and

examination fees.

Due to the additional costs, many

students find attending school

increasingly difficult, and do not

enroll for secondary school.

Annually, Oando Scholars'

Programme awards scholarships

to the top performing students

from each adopted primary

school to ease their transition to

secondary school.

ICT CENTERSBridging the digitalgap

In a world where technology is pervasive,

most students in Nigerian public primary

s c h oo l s do not have ac ce s s t o

computers and Internet services.

They did not see or use computers

throughout their six years in primary

school. This creates a huge technology

gap, and puts the child at a disadvantage

when compared to peers in private

school.

EARLY CHILDCARE

DEVELOPMENT EDUCATIONChildren are the future

Education is fundamental to a child's growth. The greatest

investment we can make for the future of our children is to lay a

great foundation today.

According to leading child researchers, 90% of all brain

development occurs between the ages of one and five.

Therefore, it is essential that quality education is made available

to children who are age five and under.

Oando Foundation helps children build a solid base by providing

well equipped Early Childhood Care and Development centers

that meet children's physical, social and cognitive needs.

TEACHER CAPACITY BUILDING

The UNESCO Education for All Report 2013/14 statistics

reveal that there is a deficit in the number of trained

primary school teachers in Nigeria. The ideal

pupil/trained teacher ratio should not exceed 1:35.

However, in northern Nigeria, there are morethan 200

students per trained teacher, henceour call to action.

Oando Foundation approaches teacher trainingfrom

numeracy/literacy and participatory methodologies.

These tools enhance the teacher's ability to foster differentiated learning

in their classrooms, recognising and accommodating differences in

learning styles, cultures and expectations.

So far, 1,608 teachers have been trained in 23 schools across 12

states namely Adamawa, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Ebonyi,

Enugu, Katsina, Kwara, Lagos, Ogun, Plateau and TarabaStates.

SUCCESS STORY

Iganmu Junior Secondary School. The

6th of seven children, she was sent to

live with a relative in Lagos as her

parents could not afford to pay her fees

from their meagre earnings as farmers.

Ifunaya qualified for the Oando

scholarship while she attended

Metropolitan Primary School, Sari

Iganmu in the 2013/2014 academic

session. For her, the scholarship was

timely as her relative was preparing to

send her back to the village due to a

sudden loss of income.

Ifunanya Ogbonaya is a JSS 3 scholar in Ifunanya was saved from being a drop-out

and can continue her education thanks to the

Oando Foundation Scholarship. Her

confidence in school has greatly improved

since she became an Oando Foundation

scholar. According to Ifunanya, she was very

shy and could not to speak in public.

Today, Ifunanya confidently raises up her

hand to answer questions and has taken a

more active role in school. She is presently

the Library Prefect in herschool.

“I am more focused on my studies, so I can

maintain the high grades I need to qualify for

the Oando Foundation Scholarship. All I can

do is work hard to achieve my dreams".

CAPACITY BUILDING

FOR SCHOOL BASED

MANAGEMENT

COMMITTEES (SBMC)

Oando Foundation has

identified the need to increase

community involvement in

education. OF ensures that

there are functional SBMCs in

each of our adopted schools to

improve the quality of

education at the local level,

enhance access to education,

and strengthen local education

systems through capacity

building programmes.

The Foundation developsand

empowers SBMCs to become

effective at contributing to

transformative education.

To date, Oando Foundation has

trained 300 SB MC members in

over 10 communities and has

partnered with the Department for

International Development (DFID)

Education Support System in

Nigeria (ESSPIN) to roll out

trainings in five states across

Nigeria.

CAPACITY BUILDING FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT EDUCATION AUTHORITIES

Research has shown that most Local Government Education

Agencies are not furnished with modern Education Management

Information Systems (EMIS). This makes it difficult to access

updated information regarding school populations, availability of

furniture, student : teacher ratio and welfare.

Oando Foundation aims to provide ICT infrastructure and

facilitate EMIS training to improve data collection and analysis,

while adequately supporting decision-making at that level. OF

will also train and equip local government education officials on

data collection and EMIS usage.
